I read through the first link you provided, it doesn't align with your claim "TikTok OBJECTIVELY collects far lesser data than Big Tech apps and services."
We go section by section
TikTok is worst here, collection all possible voice, face, environment data
Again TikTok infer as much information as possible, worst among all listed.
The later couple section did not mention tiktok, so I cannot compare it.
Finally
TikTok ranked number 3 in among all the social media, above clubhouse and twitter, just below facebook and instagram.
I may not be into Ben Shapiro as much as you, so I reject that premise. You can argue things with facts and feelings, I'd even go so far to say that that's very important to do. Otherwise we'd lose track of what matters.
I could be wrong, but do those analysts have unfettered access to TikTok's servers? Because I don't think they do. You can track what goes out, but you can't track what they keep.
This sounds xenophobic? Not exactly a "factual" argument. But no, it's obviously not. I was referring to how China doesn't let other countries so much as peek at their servers. This is well known, and has nothing to do with race or culture, but with the CCP and its antics.
